EastWest Sounds Cyber Monday Synth Bundle

Iconic includes 138 GB of rare and vintage synths and keys, many stacked to recreate sounds used in the greatest hits of all time, as well as hundreds of presets. While ICONIC features synths and sounds used in classic songs that have sold hundreds of millions of copies, it's not stuck in any time period. After recording these rare synthesizers in EastWest Studio 1, the producers also sent the sounds to analog tape machines (include a tube Studer J37) and pushed them to levels to create tape saturation and harmonic distortion for an alternative modern sound. The instruments were also re-amped into EastWest Studio 2, using multiple mic positions so the studio sound could be added to the direct sounds, a technique that was often used by Thriller recording and mixing engineer Bruce Swedien.

Forbidden Planet features over 600 expertly crafted morphing synths across categories such as Arpeggiator, Bass, Drones, FX, Leads, Pads, and Poly Synth. Freely morph between electronic layers, acoustic instruments, and futuristic sounds - perfect for soundtracks, EDM, hip hop and more!

Paying homage to the great vintage synthesizers of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, String Machine brings the past into the future. Produced by sound titans Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, String Machine samples from some of the greats – the Arp Solina, Oberheim OBX, Roland RS-505, and the Roland Jupiter 6 – and allows you to instantly combine them with modern strings, brass, woodwinds, and vocals to create unique vintage vibes perfect for your next pop, rock, or hip-hop masterpiece.
